Don't like fish? You'll like this!!!



Recommended Posts

I am ridiculously picky about eating fish. If it has the slightest fishy taste I cannot eat it at all. Yuck!! But alas, I find that fish is about the only kind of 'meat' I can eat!! So I've been trying different things. I just finished a filet that I bought at Sam's and it was absolutely delicious! It's in a big package of about 12 filets or so, called Treasures from the Sea, Parmesean Encrusted Tilapia. Buy it!!! 18 mins in the oven, then sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and I wanted more!!

Were you very satisfied with Dr. Spivak? My friend was banded by him about a month ago. I live in Georgia and am considering coming out there if my insurance company gives me any problem. I'm so glad that you posted this post, because i cannot stand fish. I know that it needs to be part of my diet, so I'm going to give this a try!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Spivak!! Do an advanced search for "Spivak" in the thread title and you'll get a very good idea of what others think. I dont recall ONE bad comment.

Yes, that is my starting, current and goal weight. Moving a bit slow but I'm happy!

Thank You Terry, I'll give that fish a try as well---when I reach the eating fish stage (i'm in the mushy stage). I've noticed that a lot of people tolerate fish the best, and I was nervous, because like you...I dont like my fish to be the least bit "fishy". Any other helpful hints?

Now I'm usually a person who will only eat fresh things, frozen stuff is not generally on my menu. but I do buy frozen plain fish fillets becuase fresh fish disgusts me. My husband brings it home all the time from fishing trips and it revolts me utterly. It sits in the freezer for 6 months and then I turf it out, I cant bear to touch it to cook it.

Nice and sanitised, in a freezer bag, that's how I like fish. I dont like it much at all to be honest but its good for you so I eat it, you need the Omega 3's.

Everything else I eat is fresh and/or organic. But fish has to be unrecognisable from its natural form, lol.

I just put some Mazola Nostick in a pan, add 2 tsp. OLIVE Oil, crush a clove or two of garlic in and Saute my Salmon fillets.... it is very good.

Also, Crushed Rosemary is Awesome with Garlic and Salmon...

Good luck to everyone with the fish thing, this is very common

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
